Biography
Andrey Sergeev was known for his translations of English poetry, in particular, of the works by T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden, and Robert Frost.[1] In the 1950s, he belonged to the literary group centered on Leonid Chertkov, the so-called Chertkov group. However, Sergeev's own literary works appeared in print only in the 1990s.[1] Sergeev's novel memoir The Stamp Album was awarded the Russian Booker Prize in 1996.[1][2][3]
From the 1960s, Sergeev was in friendly relations with Joseph Brodsky, who dedicated several poems to him, including the cycle Post Aetatem Nostram.[4]
Sergeev died after being hit by a jeep in 1998.[4]
